A gradual increase in feed corn prices continues in Ukraine, which is due to a favorable situation in the domestic and foreign markets. This week, the cost of grain crops continues to grow, creating new challenges and opportunities for the agricultural sector.

According to APK-Inform, the main factors stimulating the increase in corn prices are limited supply, active demand and dynamics in international markets. Domestic analysts emphasize that the shortage of grain on the market forces buyers to compete for available volumes, which automatically increases purchase prices.

At the same time, high demand for feed corn from domestic consumers and exporters remains stable. In many regions of Ukraine, farmers are trying to take advantage of the situation to sell grain crops profitably. This is especially true for those farmers who have access to port infrastructure or large logistics hubs.

An additional incentive for price increases is the international situation. On global markets, corn prices continue to rise, which affects the domestic cost of grain in Ukraine. Given the high export activity, Ukrainian producers are able to receive favorable offers from foreign buyers.

According to data as of January 24, the demand prices for feed corn have increased by 100-300 hryvnias per ton. Currently, they are mainly fixed in the range of 8800-9900 hryvnias per ton on CPT terms (delivery to the buyer's elevator or warehouse). This indicates the preservation of positive price dynamics, which may continue in the short term.

The situation on the feed corn market is evidence of a complex interaction between internal and external factors. Ukrainian farmers have a chance to use this period to maximize their profits, however, a balanced balance between exports and domestic consumption is necessary to stabilize the market.
